Ladybug
She’s freckle-faced, she’s cute, and she’s begging to be adopted! This little bug came to us a stray and we were immediately captivated by her beauty, but then she sat and gave us paw and we were absolutely sold. Lady is FUN and a bundle of happiness just ready to explore the
great outdoors with you!

Warren
Warren was found as a stray in a forest preserve and his soulful eyes and skinny body just broke our hearts. He sauntered into the shelter not quite sure if he should trust us but just a few meals later, he decided not only that he trusted us but he also loved us! Warren is stoic, beautiful, and a survivor, but he also turns into the sweetest puppy when he’s warmed up. This handsome fella would love to experience the best life has to offer with you!

Max
Oh Max, he just breaks our hearts! Max was found in a forest preserve left to fend for himself, and now knowing him, we just know this sweet guy must have been terrified. Max has a heart of gold, just aims to please, and would love a family to have fun with. He’s a quick learner, will do anything for a treat, and enjoys nothing more than taking a support stuffie on his walks with him. He loves giving kisses and bonding with people, it’s adorable to watch. He’s a good boy with a good heart and he’s ready to share his love with someone!

Ellis
This little guy was found abandoned in a tennis court next to our shelter. He was confused and understandably upset. It took all of a day before this cuddle bug was in our laps craving love and attention! He continues to have the sweetest personality and he’s so darn fun! He’s never had an accident in his kennel and he’s been wonderful in his kennel. There is nothing Ellis loves more than a warm blanket and spending time playing or snuggling up for face massages!

Diesel
Have you seen a more handsome dude?! Diesel was surrendered to us and as soon as this hunk jumped out of the car, it was game over for us. Since being with us, all of our volunteers say what a great walker he is and argue over who gets to walk him! Diesel is a people-lover through and through. He thrives on human affection, enjoys a good belly rub, and is always down for a walk or a snuggle session. Whether you’re binge-watching your favorite show or heading out on an adventure, Diesel will be right by your side, soaking up all the love.

Raylan
This tall, handsome, peculiar dude came to us in January and has had our hearts since! Raylan is a stoic fella who doesn’t always wear his heart on his sleeve, but we can’t really blame him considering he’s looking for a family of his own. He might make you pay for his love in treats, but the return on investment is one of the best around! Ray may look like a big tough guy, but he’ll hop around like a little bunny once he knows you’re his person! He’d be perfect if you’re looking for a partner-in-crime or a partner-in-life, whichever you prefer!
Size: 65 lb.

Bella
In foster
Big thoughts, big cuddles, and even bigger heart – that’s Bella! This sweet girl lives for her couch time, especially if snuggles are involved. She’s not afraid to speak her mind, so expect some barks with a side of sass when you’re hanging out together. Bella can be a bit of a picky eater, but we’re learning her favorites one bite at a time. She’d thrive with someone who loves affection, appreciates a conversation, and is ready to welcome a whole lot of love into their life!

Dave
In foster
Dave was tied to a dumpster near a junkyard and left with wounds all over his body. He’s understandably a little nervous at the shelter, but is so easily won over with a single treat and a nice little head scratch. If you want a dog who’s going to get stopped on every walk to be told how handsome he is, he’s your dude! A place to snuggle up is all he’s looking for – he’s an easy-to-please kind of guy and can’t wait to find a family of his own!
Size: 60 lb.
Energy level: Medium, a nice walk and some training tires him out
Kids: Ages 16+
Dogs: No thanks!
Cats: No thanks!
Buzz
In foster
To infinity and into your heart! This sweet boy is kind of the rainbows and butterflies type, where the grass is always green and vibes are always perfect. Buzz would like any kind of home, really. He’s down to try new things, cuddle, play, go for walks, just the real easy-going kind of dude. Strangers are just friends he hasn’t met yet and he’s looking to meet them all!
Size: 50 lb. but slightly underweight
Energy level: Medium-high, he’s a husky mix after all
Kids: Yes
Dogs: We could test with yours if interested

Woody
In foster
Howdy partner! Just like in the Disney movie, this boy will be your best friend in the whole world! Woody found his way to the shelter, a shell of himself along with his littermate, Buzz. What we’ve learned about Woody is that he’s loyal, smart, and cute as heck—much like his namesake! Woody would be so happy to go on adventures with you and create a bond so strong that nothing can break it.
Size: 50 lb. but slightly underweight

Ralphie
In foster
I may look like a big tough guy, but I’m soft as mush for the people I love! I’ve had a rough past including being on the run in the bitter cold winter last year but the team here is doing their best to find my perfect home. I’m a bit of a shy dude at first and it might take a visit or two to warm up to new people, but I’m trying really hard to be the best me I can be. Someone who has patience to help me learn is a must and in return you’ll get endless cuddles and zoomies that’ll make your day! I know I can make someone happy and I’m hoping it’s you!
Size: 55 lb. but a little chonky right now
